Hello! Iím not a DeLorean owner yet, but Iím saving and hoping to land one within the next couple of years.

Where do you apartment dwellers keep your D when not in use? Has anyone found good garage rental spaces to keep the car stored safely when not in use?

My apartments donít have garages, so thatís out of the question.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Good question. When I lived in an apartment I rented a storage unit. I also found an apartment that included its own garage, a rarity. Iíd look for either. You donít want to store the car outside, even with a cover. Cheers

I was thinking of doing the same, finding a storage unit. Did you let the storage place know a vehicle was in there? Do they generally care at all? Was it climate controlled?

garages

I was an apartment maintenance supervisor for 27 years. I lived
on site and stored it in underground heated parking along with 75
tenants cars. I did a frame off, motor change, tranny swap and all
other repairs. It helped that the owner loved cars and had quite a
collection. Iv'e had cars Brocken into beside me and across from
me but no one touched the DeLorean. I didn't have an alarm or
other security devices. I did have a fake blinking LED and fake
warning stickers on the windows. Maybe I was stupid or maybe
I was lucky. Possibly the awesomeness of the car deterred any
mischief.....?

Did you notice any sun damage on the car? How long was it stored outside at the gated place?

About a year, some more cracking happened on the binnacle and seats. A-pillar trim became much worse. This was before I started using a sunvisor which I should have done in the first place

Maybe it's because its my first classic car, but it bugs the crap out of me that my accord was always outside for years yet there was no damage to the interior. What kind of garbage material did they use on the Delorean? Granted the paint will never bake off of it and headlights wont yellow over.

Your Accord isn't over 35 years old. Any leather and vinyl dries out after that much time. Not sure about the vinyl and plastics, but the original DeLorean leather was much better than any modern day stuff.
